This unique taper reduces the fatigue of a long day of \"meat-chucking\" while maintaining the accuracy needed to bang the banks. It is a dedicated tool for technical streamer fishing where a standard 9' 7wt would simply fold under the pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent (Pristine; used with extreme care).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLength\/Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8'9\" \/ 7wt (Optimized for 230 - 270 grain lines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/b\u003e Konnetic Technology for slimmer profiles and superior tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBlank Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Tannin with Burgundy primary thread wraps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGuides:\u003c\/b\u003e Tangle-free Fuji ceramic stripper guides and oversized chrome snake guides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Super Plus full-wells cork handle with a rugged fighting butt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eReel Seat:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty aluminum up-locking seat built for harsh environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This rod is in \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"31\"\u003eExcellent Condition\u003c\/b\u003e.
